What you burn in a day is not BMR, but rather TDEE, which is BMR multiplied by a multiplier (the multiplier depends on how active you are as a person, so for sedentary it is 1.2, lightly active, it is 1.375, etc).

I understand your point of view, but be very glad that you have a mom who loves you and cares for you....there are a lot of people who don't.

vettle, I have a question. If I ate at least my BMR, effectively my deficit would be limited to what the activity multiplier would be. As an example: BMR = 2000 Activity multiplier = 1.2 TDEE = BMR * 1.2 = 2400 If I ate at least my BMR, my deficit could not be greater than 400 (which is what the activity multiplier adds).…

I am new as well and have been reading extensively, but here's my understanding - your calorie deficit should be measured from TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure), not BMR. To get the TDEE number, you need to multiply the BMR with a multiplier, as shown below : Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)…
